'template' is a reserved variable which references the current template you're processing. 'page' is just the name of a template file (in lib) but it could just have easily been 'my/fancy/page.html', for example. The 'process' option in the .ttreerc tells TT to process this file instead of the main template. This file then processes the template (note the leading '$' to indicate the variable template, not the file called 'template') and wraps it up in another template called 'page' which probably looks something like: <html> <head>...</head> <body> [% content %] </body> </html> Here 'content' is a reserved variable which resolves to everything between the [% WRAPPER xxx %] and [% END %], which in this case is the output of processing the source template, [% PROCESS $template %]. > Also, the wrapper file, what is the file extension, or doesn't it have one? TT doesn't do any file extension magic. You can say [% INCLUDE foo %] or [% INCLUDE foo.html %] but either way, it's just a filename which TT applies as-is. > Otherwise, it looks like I'm on the path to enlightenment!
